Shore A Description:
The
hardness of rubber compounds is measured by the Shore A durometer;
the higher the durometer, the harder the compound. Softer compounds
stretch easier and seal better on rough surfaces. Harder compounds
offer greater abrasion resistance and resistance to extrusion.
60
Shore A is softer than 70
70
Shore A is the standard
90
Short A is very stiff
Specs:
Color Compounds: Green, Brown, Black
Excellent resistance to petroleum products, low compression set
and high temperature resistance. The low temperature capability is
somewhat restricted, however, in some cases the low temperature
sealing capability may be increased by specific design parameters.
